Helping You
Make Sense of You
Travis Stewart Counseling & Coaching
Personal & Practical Coaching and Counseling
Life can be confusing! Things happen to us that don’t make sense and leave us confused, angry, or lost. Sometimes our own behaviors add to the feelings of chaos and confusion.
To make sense of yourself and the world, sometimes you need the perspective offered by someone else.
As a therapist and coach, I will seek to understand you and what has you feeling stuck so that I can offer encouragement as you change unhelpful behaviors.
While I do offer practical help, I don’t provide simple answers. I believe growth is a process of trying, failing, breaking, stumbling, trusting, and moving forward with others. If we do this faithfully, we will see our struggles redeemed into something beautiful.
Because choosing a coach or therapist feels so personal, I’m happy to talk with you over the phone so that I can answer any questions you have. If you feel comfortable, we will then set up your first appointment.

Bulimia and the Healing of Shame
“I can’t believe I binged and purged today. I feel so stupid. I’m such a failure. I can’t even do recovery right.” When I asked her to tell me more about the binge, she squirmed in her seat and looked at the floor. “It’s so embarrassing.” This is not an unusual...
